Here is my fame
Here is my future
It's in my pocket
And if my fortune
Weren't only lint and small change
Wishing in one hand
Bird in the other
See which one will take me farthest from here
Here is my hopelessness
Though I'm not helpless
I need a window
That I can climb through
Just one small opening
A little lantern to light my way
Discovering my hands
Catch at the altar
I fall on my face as the words hit my ear
Here is my fortune
Here is my fame
Here is my future
It's in my pocket
Il est dans mon poche
Here is my fortune Here is my fame Here is my future It's in my pocket And if my fortune Weren't only lint and small change Wishing in one hand Bird in the other See which one will take me farthest from here Here is my hopelessness Though I'm not helpless I need a window That I can climb through Just one small opening A little lantern to light my way Discovering my hands Catch at the altar I fall on my face as the words hit my ear Here is my fortune Here is my fame Here is my future It's in my pocket Il est dans mon poche Explain Request ×
